Vancouver Olympics bring unprecedented opportunities to Canada's indigenous people

Aboriginal involvement goes beyond performances as tribes are encouraged to participate economically and athletically.

In 1999, the International Olympic Committee adopted Agenda 21, a document that called for Olympic host nations to use the Games as a means for creating sustainable development for traditionally disadvantaged groups, including indigenous peoples.

Modern shamans all the rage in S Korea

SEOUL, South Korea — When I told my friends I would visit a Korean shaman, or mudang, their responses weren’t exactly reassuring. One Korean university student explained to me that evil spirits would hijack my body, prompting me to slit my wrists and drink my own blood until I became a minion of Satan. “Are you nuts? They’re evil!” another friend exclaimed.>>>

The Raven's Gift- A Scientist, a Shaman, and Their Remarkable Journey Through the Siberian Wilderness

By Jon Turk

Jon Turk has kayaked around Cape Horn and paddled across the Pacific Ocean to retrace the voyages of ancient people. But, the strangest trip he ever took was the journey he made as a man of science into the realm of the spiritual. In a remote Siberian village, Turk met an elderly Koryak shaman named Moolynaut who invoked the help of a Spirit Raven to mend his fractured pelvis. When the healing was complete, he was able to walk without pain. Turk, finding no rational explanation, sought understanding by traversing the frozen tundra where Moolynaut was born, camping with bands of reindeer herders, and recording stories of their lives and spirituality.

Film of The Month

The Last of His Tribe (1992)

By Harry Hook

BETWEEN 1800 & 1900, ALMOST 300,000 NATIVE AMERICANS WERE SLAUGHTERED. IT WAS THOUGHT THAT NONE HAD REMAINED IN THE WILD, UNTIL ONE DAY IN 1911, A DOCTOR & HIS WIFE DISCOVER ONE SURVIVOR - AND WITH HIM, THE SECRETS OF A VANISHED LAND.

This film is a must see for many reasons, primarily because it documents the very end of the ~15,000 year legacy of free Native Americans on this continent: "Ishi," the last Yahi and free ranging Native American is forced by circumstance to enter modern civilization in the early 20th Century in California. The historical significance alone makes it worth seeing.>>>
